Chapter 140: Chapter 140 - Thanks to him
Before Laila spoke, she heard a few sparse boos in the audience.
This is because many young people are present here, and not all of them can hear Cooper's illocutionary words. Otherwise, I believe that hiss will blow off the roof of the studio hall like the applause just now.
"Yes, I believe Mr. Cooper helped me a lot."
When everyone thought Laila would go back satirically, she gave an unexpected answer. Not only the audience but O'Reilly and Cooper were also stunned.
"Yes, is it? That's really great. Can you tell us what kind of help he has given you?" I don't know why. O'Reilly always feels that the rhythm that he should master seems to be slow from the beginning. He has hosted this show since 1996, and this is the first time he feels this way.
Laila first smiled faintly at the audience before looking at Cooper: "If it weren't for Mr. Cooper, I don't think "Saw" would have the current box office. Everyone wants to know what movie that director and film critics used for betting. What the movie was betting on, so they all walked into the cinema."
"Haha." A burst of laughter and applause broke out in the audience. Isn't it? I don't know how many people walked into the movie theater because of curiosity. Director Moran said it was too reasonable, but it was also too interesting. Doesn't it mean that Cooper defeated himself?
Cooper's face turned black in an instant. He had thought of this as early as the movie was showing, knowing that his desperate attempt to discredit the movie during that time was helping the movie to make a name. It's just that he was already riding a tiger. Even if he was silent later, it was too late.
Laila also laughed twice with the audience before nodding to Cooper: "I think I must thank Mr. Cooper for his help for this."
"Yes, that's right." "I want to thank him." There was a burst of louder laughter from the audience.
O'Reilly saw that Cooper's face was almost darker than the black ass of the donkey, and in order to save his lack of sanity, he could only come out to make ends meet.
"It turns out that this is the case. Hollywood is really a magical place. Who could have thought of such a result before the betting started?" He finished with a smile, and his smile suddenly froze at the corner of his mouth for a second.
No one thought of such a result, but what if she had already thought of it? What if she started with the idea of using Cooper to increase the box office of the movie?
O'Reilly was frightened by his imagination, but when he thought about it, he felt that he was unreasonably worried. Before he thought about it, an r-rated low-cost horror film would dare to bet 100 million at the box office, and it was a performance of being stunned.
Even superb directors like Spielberg and George Lucas dare not say that they can do the same thing, right?
Everything should be just a coincidence!
It must be so!
O'Reilly took a deep breath and felt that his state of today's show was terrible. He frightened himself again and didn't even grasp the rhythm of the show. It was not like his usual way.
At this moment, the black and white donkey brought to the stage by Cooper gave a sudden cry, as if to remind people not to forget its existence.
O'Reilly looked at the donkey and smiled: "It seems that my other protagonist also wants to get some applause."
"Wow." The audience laughed and clapped their palms. Seeing a donkey in the live broadcast room, all this is really fun! Nothing like this happened before.
"Well, since our other protagonist expressed his discomfort, let me ask Cooper. Cooper, are you really determined to complete the bet?"
"Yes," Cooper answered quickly and admitted almost without hesitation.
O'Reilly continued to ask according to their "script": "You should know that our program is for the entire United States. As long as you fulfill your betting agreement here, it means that the entire United States will see it and even spread it on the Internet. Going all over the world, do you have the courage to complete the bet in front of audiences all over the world?"
Cooper's heart was in tears, he had the courage of a woolen thread, and it was not his brain that a donkey kicked! But no matter how hard and tired his heart is, he can only think about it if he wants to escape from this such quagmire.
Therefore, his face was calm, as if he had thought about it, and he nodded solemnly: "Yes."
"Huh." O'Reilly exhaled, "What should I say? You really have…." Before the word "courage" could be said, a voice interrupted him.
"Please wait a minute."
No one else interrupted him. It was Laila who had been sitting "honestly" on the sofa.
"Uh, is there any problem?" O'Reilly asked with a smile even though she interrupted him a little. Interrupting others is not something a lady or celebrity should do. He might be able to target her at this point in a while.
Laila lowered her eyes and moved her gaze to her knees. A simple gesture gave people the feeling that she was repenting. But what does she need to confess?
"Before Mr. Cooper speaks, I have something to say. I'm sorry to interrupt Mr. O'Reilly, but if I don't say it now, I think I might not have the opportunity to say it in a while."
O'Reilly's keen intuition told him that she should not be allowed to speak, especially when she chose a perfect time, even if it was one second late, as long as he could tell Cooper's virtues of "honesty, sincerity, and integrity." Can make the whole thing develop in the direction they intended.
However, he was interrupted at such a critical time, and there was no such good opportunity to follow the words just now without leaving a trace. And he always felt that what she was going to say next might have an irreparable impact. Unfortunately, he did not have the right to refuse, at least in this environment called freedom.
O'Reilly glanced at her without the slightest sense of crisis. Instead, a pair of Cooper's eyes were saying: "say what you want, don't blame us for not giving you a chance" O'Reilly suddenly felt a little disappointed. Can such a stupid person bring benefits to their cooperation? Is it essential to let him help?
"You can say anything. I don't think Mr. Cooper will refuse." He can only pretend to be welcoming and let her speak freely. He was too lazy to remind Cooper, anyway, as long as the ratings came up, it didn't matter if he didn't help Cooper. The upper level will not reprimand him for this. After all, it is not that he does not want to help, but that his teammate is too unbelievable.
"Of course, just say anything," Cooper answered unexpectedly. Although he was angry that his rhythm was interrupted, for Laila, he didn't take her to heart. What kind of wisdom can be compared to a little girl?
